Reborn (Harry Potter fanfic)

Lessons and Letters

I own nothing and no one apart from ' the pheonix girl ' and maybe a few other characters I might create.

I woke up to a yell.
"Hurry up!"
"I'm sleeping." I yelled back. Then I realised what I had just said.
"Liar!"
"Am not!" I yelled back.
"Are you ready yet?"
"No."
There was a long silence, in which my best friend decided what else to yell at me.
"Are you ready yet?"
"No!" I repeated.
After having an extremely ferocious internal battle with myself, I decided I should probably get up.
I rolled around my extremely comfortable bed, in an attempt to make myself more uncomfortable so I would want to get up. (It ended up with my face getting to meet the floor.)
I picked myself up from the hard ground, looked longingly at my bed and stepped in front of my mirror.
I was a mess.
My red and orange hair was sticking up everywhere. My golden eyes had sleep coating them and my lips seemed to have a slight drool shiny patch.
I shoved a brush through my hair and put it up in a simple bun. I dunked my face into a lot of very cold water and when I emerged I was a lot more awake.
"Are you r-" My best friend started.
"No!" I interupted.
I shoved on my uniform. Brown robes and a red cloak and pulled on some black boots.
I grabbed my bag and hoped that any homework I had to give in was done, if not I was screwed.
I opened my door and found a very annoyed looking Victor Krumm.
"How long do you need?" He demanded.
"It takes a long time for a girl to get ready."
"How would I know. This is an all boys school, with one exeption."
Yes I was a girl and I went to an all boys school. I got my own room and everything. All my friends were boys and Victor was my best mate. (His name according to me was Tor)
"Why were you waking me up so early in the morning."
"Cass. It's normal time." He told me.
"Oh. And why are you here, we normally meet at breakfast." I asked.
"Well it is your fault, with the fiasco you caused on Saturday."

Oh Yes. Saturday. We had been having a Durmstrang party and a lot of alcohol had been present. Me being the only girl, boys craved my attention and according to Tor, who never drinks, I swore I would go out with the first guy who asked me on the 29th of August.

The 29th of August. Oh. Today.
I rolled my eyes.
"It's not my fault that you want to murder every boy who comes within five miles of me." I said as we started walking. "I really don't need help protecting myself." I told him.
He laughed. "Cass. I'm not guarding you for your safety. I'm guarding the idiots who dare to ask you out from you. I don't really want to witness a murder, it's a Thursday." He said.
I rolled my eyes. We stepped out through the courtyard and were immediately launched upon by a load of annoying boys.
"Will you go out with me?" Twenty voices all yelled at once.
That day I had a headache and was not in the mood. I attempted to follow Tor but I was surrounded. I couldn't hear myself think.
Then I screamed. Everyone went silent, thinking there was something wrong.
I shook of all the hands that were touching me.
"If anyone crosses this line, " I said, drawing an imaginary line around me. "They will be very sorry." I said.
I started walking again and everyone started following at a distance. Then one extremely annoying guy crossed the line. I stopped and faced him.
"You crossed the line. You follow me everyday but today you cross the line." I said very quietly and cooly.
I punched him in the stomach and he reeled away.
"Does anyone else want to ask me out?" I demanded.
One extremely brave guy stepped forward.
"Pity." I said and knocked him out before Tor could rush forward and stop me.
I sighed.
"You know, I can't stand Thursdays." I said and walked off to breakfast. Tor grinned asked walked with me. A lot of people thought we were going out but we weren't, he was my best friend.

Me and Tor walked to our first lesson. We had history of magic first, a really good lesson.
Our teacher was so interesting as he talked about all the goblin battles.
After that we had transfiguration. I pointed my wand at the crow I was meant to be silencing.
My wand was from my previous lifetime. It had my tail as a core and I loved it.
After transfiguration, we had potions. I loved this lesson. I put on my dragon gloves, so I wouldn't warm anything up and mess up my potion.
At lunch I ate with my group of friends.
Aaron, Jack, Louis and Victor each ate three times of what I had. Louis was annoying me.
"How many did you send to the hospital area today?" He asked.
"One." Victor filled in for me, "And one will have a very bruised stomach." He sniggered.
I rolled my eyes and stood up.
They all stood up and I sighed. I was quite short for my age and all these boys were about half a foot taller than me.
Even Aaron who was the smallest, towered above me.
"What do we have next?" I asked Tor as we said bye to the other guys.
"Dark Arts." He said and I grinned. It was my favourite lesson. In reality it was actually defence but Igor wanted to sound tough so he just called it dark arts.
I jumped onto Victor's back and yelled "faster!"
He ran and when we got to a few metres from our class, he dumped me on the floor.
"Hey Mr Krumm. Get your but back here!" I yelled and he just ignored me. I jumped up and ran after him. I punched him on the shoulder as I passed him. At that moment Igor opened that classroom door and I nearly ran into him.
"Oh hey Igor!" I said grinning.
"It is Professor Karkaroff." He corected me. I rolled my eyes and laughed as he strode off down the corridor.
"Come in!" Our Dark Arts teacher called and we all walked in.
Me and Tor sat near the front while our teacher talked about our subject.

When the day ended, me and the boys went flying. We all had firebolts and raced against my international player best mate.

I played as chaser with Louis, with Jack as our keeper. We were against Victor, who insisted he was two people and Aaron who was his keeper.
In the end we tied because Igor ruined my fun and sent someone to take me to him.
I knew it was important knews because Igor knew that I would get grumpy if I got called off quiditch.
I trudged up to the school while the generous boys carried on without me.
I dumped my broom and walked slowly through the corridors. When I got to Igor's room, I stopped and waited.
"Enter!" He called and I stormed in. Before he had raised his head, I burst into a long angry rage.
"I was playing Quiditch! What if this time of practice ruins my whole quiditch life. You wouldn't bring Victor in like that because he's on our team but I'm on the school team. Oh yeah that doesn't matter because your a noble headmaster who doesn't have favourites!" I finished sarcastically. (I was also yelling)
"Calm down." He shouted, being hypocritical and not being calm.
"I want you to open your red bag." He said.
I stopped making growling bear sounds with my throat and listened.
"I think you are ready." He said.
I smiled and imagined a great group of violinists playing an amazing cord while he said that.
Then I looked at his face and one of the violin's strings broke. (Only joking, I loved him really!)

I went to the window and whistled for Jason. I told him what I needed and he went and brought it to me.
Shakily my hands opened the red bag that I had had since- well this life time.

I pulled out two letters. I opened one and read.

Dear Cassy,
As you will know. You are a pheonix child. You probably also know me very well, from your flashbacks. I am Albus Dumbledore. I am positive that you know all about me.
I am writing this letter because as you will know, you have died. And whenever the earth brings you back to life, I may not be alive.
I just wanted to write this to tell you how much I love you.
Love is a very strong word and I mean every bit of it.
I hope that I will see you again,
With my love,
Uncle Albus.

I smiled. I knew all about Uncle Albus. I had loads of flashbacks and all my dreams were my previous lifetime.
I opened the second letter.

Dear Cassy,
This letter is probably years old but now, while I am writing it, you are laying in your bedroom, just been reborn.
I gave made a decision because most of the death eaters who were after you before, are still around.
I am taking you, as I am sure you know, to Durmstrang Academy. I am terribly sorry about this. You and you mother will both experience loss and I will bring you back home when it is safe.
I love you, little flame,
Uncle Albus.

I suddenly realised. I had had a gaping hole in my life. I had always thought my mother was dead.
I suddenly felt an urge to go and find her.
"How would Albus react if I turned up like this?" I demanded.
"I don't know." He said.
"I'll have to go." I told him. "Before, I never knew she existed so I never looked for her. I thought she was dead but know I realise that that is the huge hole in my life. I am going to fill it." I said.
I scooped up the letters, my red bag and Jason flew to my shoulder. I walked out to head to my room to start planning.
